Scalpers bought a crap load of tickets anticipating Disney’s FROZEN to be the next HAMILTON. Sadly, after the mediocre reviews and terrible word-of-mouth, the demand for tickets disappeared so they’re basically “dumping” tickets. Hoping to make SOME money instead of “eating” the unsold tickets.

Well, for all we know, they are still selling a majority of their tickets well above cost and only losing on a handful of tickets by not making it seem like they are available for a discount even earlier... otherwise, you'd be seeing tickets much cheaper much further out, just to stay ahead of the fire sale. They're probably still turning a profit, albeit less than they might have hoped.

Couldn't pay me to sit through this trash again.

For what it's worth... when I bought my own Frozen ticket when it went on sale, I had a moment of stupidity and thought maybe I'd make a buck. So I bought an extra three tickets for a different night... fantastic seats, Friday night of Easter weekend, right after opening... given the rabid popularity of the movie, I figured I'd be rich!
I was barely able to sell them - at a loss - two days before the show. Lesson learned - I will absolutely never do that again, and clearly karma's a bitch for even trying. But it makes me doubt that anyone is making money off of this.

Interesting. I do like when the scalpers get one wrong... except when I tried to bail on Meteor Shower, and had to either take a huge loss or attend. Mistakenly, I attended. Should've taken the hit and saw something else. D'oh!

Why is scalping even allowed? It's so enraging! I bought a ticket for a night I now can't go to and Ticketmaster literally forced me to mark it up. I only marked it up $.25 because I just was trying to recover what I spent, not make money. The only people who should be making money on Broadway... are people who freaking work on Broadway! Scalping pi$$es me off SO much! I get that you're always going to have sort of a "black market" for tickets, but the fact that it's allowed there is mind boggling.

I'm sorry but I have to laugh at this. That's what you get for being greedy.

Oh, I totally agree. You reap what you sow. Never again!

That is unique to this show. Most shows let you charge whatever you want, in either direction. Of course, to recover what you spent, you typically have to mark it up $20 or so, since they add fees onto it.

It's not unique to Frozen. When I had to resell my Wicked tickets you had a minimum that you couldn't go below which was the face value of the ticket.

Can someone please check to be sure that CurtainPullDowner is okay? He should've been here by now.
Posted: 4/11/18 at 1:23pm
I just bought two tickets for tonight on Stubhub. They are mobile tickets only - will I have a problem scanning the barcodes on my phone to get in? I've never seen anyone scan tickets on their phones to get in. Any help would be appreciated.
